2025 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints and Recall Information
The 2025 NISSAN FRONTIER has 6 complaints and 36 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners frequently report vibration issues at highway speeds affecting the steering wheel and causing numbness. Other common concerns include brake pedal pulsing and infotainment screen blackouts when towing or using parking assistance.
Common Issues- Highway vibration. Vehicle vibrates at speeds above 65-70 mph with vibrations felt through the steering wheel, leading to numb hands after prolonged driving and causing premature damage to drive-train components and fluid leaks.
- Brake pedal pulsing. Owners notice pulsing in the brake pedal under hard braking. The front brake rotors appear warped without signs of overheating or heavy use.
- Infotainment screen blackout. The display screen goes black after deactivating the parking assistance system while towing or reversing, disabling the backup camera temporarily. This issue has been subject to a prior recall.
- Windshield gap and whistling noise. A gap above the passenger side windshield creates air intrusion and whistling at speeds up to 70 mph. Dealers confirmed the issue and warn it could lead to water intrusion or windshield detachment. Nissan covers repairs under warranty only up to 36,000 miles.
The vehicle is subject to 36 recalls affecting various systems including software related to rear visibility, engine control, and lighting. Many recalls address safety concerns involving display screens and lighting behavior.
Recalls- Back Over Prevention. (NHTSA Recall 25V324000) About 79,755 vehicles affected. The center information display may show a blank screen when shifted into reverse, violating FMVSS 111. This reduces rear visibility increasing crash risk. Dealers will update the software free of charge. Owner notification was mailed July 10, 2025.
- Engine Control Module Software. (NHTSA Recall 25V508000) Approximately 13,719 vehicles are included. A software logic error causes daytime running lights to dim unexpectedly during idle start-stop engine cycling, failing FMVSS 108 requirements. This may confuse other road users and increase crash risk. Dealers will update software free of charge. Owners notified starting September 17, 2025.
- Lighting Control Module Software. (Same as 25V508000) The daytime running light dimming issue also involves the lighting control module. Repairs include a complimentary software update to resolve this safety defect.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs, safety defects, or unresolved recall problems may have rights under their state’s lemon law and should explore available legal options.

Dealer has verified that a gap around the windshield at the top of the passenger side in front of the sun visor is large enough to allow air into it as to create a whistling noise when reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. It is only a matter of time that water intrusion will occur & it is possible a windshield will lift & loosen & possibly may become airborne. I believe a recall should be issued immediately to fix the issue before a major incident occurs. Nissan is aware of the issue & is covering under warranty up to 36,000 miles only. For others who have extended warranties they are not covering the defect. With the amount of response on social media I would estimate that this issue affects well over 50% of Frontiers. It is a well known issue with the manufacturer yet they will not do a voluntary recall. They need help deciding to do the right thing!!

After deactivating the parking assistance system while towing a small trailer and backing up, the info/taiment screen blacked out. No back up camera available. The screen finally came back on after driving for 5 minutes. This vehicle has already been in for a previous recall on the same problem.

After owningthe vehicle for five months and around 7500 miles, I begin to notice my brake pedal pulsing when I press hard and as time went on, I started feeling vibration in the vehicle and the front wheel. It felt as if the front brake rotors warped. this should not happen. The vehicle was driven normally no overheating or hard use of the brakes.
